About this downloader

MP4 files from YouTube

SaveVideo turns a YouTube link into an MP4 file you can keep. Paste the link, choose a quality up to 1080p, and the download starts in your browser. MP4 plays on almost any phone, computer or TV.

Which qualities you get

The YouTube to MP4 downloader lists the MP4 qualities YouTube has for the video, from 144p up to 1080p. For a video under 10 minutes, pick any of them. Videos of 10 minutes or more come in 360p or lower, for up to 3 hours. The website never offers 1440p or 4K for YouTube, even when the video has them.

When you need more than 1080p

For YouTube to MP4 in 4K or 8K, use the free SaveVideo.net Helper for Chrome. It adds a download bar under the YouTube player. It lists 4K and 8K when YouTube has the video in those qualities, and it has no length limit. On a computer, the qualities the website can’t give you appear in their own box, with the helper next to them.

Three free YouTube downloads an hour

The website gives you 3 free YouTube downloads per hour. When you have used them, the page counts down to your next one. With the helper installed on a computer, or in the Android app, there is no hourly count.

Just the sound

If you only want the audio, pick MP3 in the Audio only tab. It works for YouTube videos up to 4 hours long.

FAQ

Questions about downloading from YouTube

Why does a long video only offer 360p?

Because on the website, the YouTube to MP4 downloader saves videos of 10 minutes or more in 360p or lower, up to 3 hours long. On a computer, the higher qualities still show in a separate box, because the Helper for Chrome can save them with no length limit. On a phone, the list shows only what you can download.

Why is the file a different size from the list?

The size the YouTube to MP4 downloader shows is the server’s estimate before the file is made. In our tests on 5 October 2026, finished files came out between 0.6 and 2.3 times the estimate. Use it to compare qualities, not as the exact size of the file.

Quick trick

Type “vid” before youtube.com

On any YouTube video, add vid in front of youtube.com in the address bar and press Enter. The video opens here, ready to download.

youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
